Garden Image is an 18th-century marble sculpture group, depicting Asklepios, Hygieia and Telesphoros. The statue is placed to the south of the Zijpendaal house. Asklepios was the god of medicine; his daughter Hygieia the goddess of health and his son Telesphoros the god of healing. The statue is on a marble base with a profiled base with pilasters on the corners and closed with a profiled cover plate. The naked bearded Asklepios sits on a boulder. Hygieia is leaning against him, wrapped in a pleated robe with the little Telesphoros in her arms. Two entangled snakes lie at the feet of Asklepios and Hygieia.
